I read an article in Computerworld this week that talks about our governments plans to use technology to advance the science of guessing. Yes, our tax dollars today are being used to develop systems that will attempt to predetermine your course of action in life. Terrorist or Tourist? Project Hostile Intent is reported to exist to "build systems that automatically identify and analyze behavioral and physiological cues associated with deception."
Is this really the best use of our tax dollars? The best part is that you and I will some day be able to say we are paying for our own misery. Where exactly does this line of thinking end? Are the events depicted in the Minority Report movie really that far off?
I for one, can't wait.
